Need advice about PC remotes for watching movies
Hey guys,

I want to be able to use a remote to turn off my pc, FF, Stop, etc.

What parts do I need? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Adam

I don't know what OS you're using, but this works great with Win7.

You can try Team Viewer, it is free lifetime and I use it too. It is the most widely used remote program.
